A new Steam Deck Beta Client update was pushed out yesterday which comes with some fixes and improvements across the board! Nintendo Switch Pro and JoyCon gyroscope sensitivities have been adjusted to be equal to othe controllers, rumble on DualShock controllers was fixed, a new bell icon was added to the header when there are notifications, and the URL was updated for store checkout.

Steam Deck Beta Client 5/30/23 Changelog:

General

  • Fixed issues where some errors launching a game were not displayed, such as when an update is downloading, but there's not enough disk space available
  • Notification settings for the notification feed can now be set in-client from the Settings panel
  • Updated URL for store checkout process.
  • Added a bell icon to the header when there are new notifications, and a green indicator to new notifications in the notifications list.

Steam Input

  • Fixed certain calibration settings not saving correctly
  • Fixed Rumble on DualShock controllers.
  • Nintendo Switch Pro and JoyCons Gyroscopes now have sensitivities that are roughly equal to all other controllers as we step toward a Natural Sensitivity Scale (i.e. real world rotations result in roughly the same in-game output, regardless of controller used). Steam Input sensitivities on SwitchPro and JoyCon configurations will be automatically updated compensate.

Desktop Mode

  • Fixed an issue in the library causing the game released section to accidentally display for users who added the Street Fighter 6 demo to their account. This section of the library should only display when a game that you have pre-purchased is ready for pre-load or has released and is now ready to play.
  • Notifications now include the friend indicator overlay on user avatars when the avatar is a friend
  • Fixed regression where F11 was not toggling fullscreen mode correctly
  • Added support for notification types shown in the Desktop Client and Mobile app: Wishlist, Trade Offer, Steam Turn, Help Request, Major Sale, and Comment.
